The present invention consists of a modular system, which creates square
cuboid space
modules that can be added, removed, or relocated within a three-dimensional
square grid,
by using four types of saddles, each one configured for every corner of such a
module, to
create three connection pockets to connect posts and beams, wherein these
saddles are
prefabricated from steel sheet, with nine plates continuously welded at the
seams. In order
to create a larger clear space without posts, four adjacent modules can be
structurally
merged by removing a central cluster of four main posts. Furthermore, parapet
post
extensions may be inserted during the initial construction, or during
subsequent alterations
and additions, without structural modifications, to support dual axis solar
tracking devices,
or mini wind turbines, or communication devices.
La présente invention concerne un système modulaire qui crée des modules despace cuboïde carré pouvant être ajoutés, retirés ou relocalisés dans une grille carrée tridimensionnelle à laide de quatre types de selles, chacune étant configurée pour chaque coin dun tel module, afin de créer trois pochettes de raccord permettant de connecter des poteaux et des poutres. Lesdites selles sont préfabriquées à partir de feuilles dacier, et neuf plaques sont soudées de façon continue aux jonctions. Pour créer un espace libre exempt de poteaux, quatre modules adjacents peuvent être fusionnés de façon structurale en retirant une grappe centrale constituée de quatre poteaux principaux. De plus, les extensions de poteaux de parapet peuvent être insérées pendant la construction initiale ou pendant les altérations et ajouts subséquents, sans modifications structurales, afin de supporter des dispositifs de suivi solaires à axe double, des mini-éoliennes ou des dispositifs de communication.
